Help Sara get on her feet

Sara is a stay at home mom of two. She is getting a divorce and leaving a bad situation, but has no place to go and no savings because she didn’t have any control of the household income.

Sara needs to leave this unstable situation as soon as possible.

She needs money for a down-payment on an apartment and 3 months rent so she can have a safe place for herself and her kids and time to find a job. We've estimated that at 12k.

Please give what you can. Anything helps and is much appreciated.

[My name is Karen and I've been friends with Sara for almost 30 years and love her very much. I will not have access to these funds, only she will.]
